"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6066908\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, I want to ask specifically about one issue my colleague did not address in her speech, which is the issue of the 10-day waiting period. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066909\" data-originallang=\"en\">The existing framework involves a 10-day reflection period. The value of that is that people who are maybe at a particularly low point do not make the decision and then go through with the decision in a short period of time. There should be a mechanism, a time period, to ensure that they really are intent on moving forward with it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066910\" data-originallang=\"en\">At the same time, the existing system already has a mechanism by which this reflection period could be waived. In extreme circumstances it could be waived, but generally speaking, the 10-day reflection period ensures that people are not pressured into it in a short space in time. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066911\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would the member be willing to support the idea of maintaining that 10-day reflection period in order to protect vulnerable people who might be pushed through this decision too quickly?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6066908\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, ma question porte sur un point particulier que ma coll\u00e8gue n'a pas abord\u00e9 dans son discours, \u00e0 savoir la question de la p\u00e9riode d'attente de 10 jours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066909\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le cadre existant pr\u00e9voit une p\u00e9riode de r\u00e9flexion de 10 jours. Ce d\u00e9lai est important parce qu'il emp\u00eache les gens qui vivent peut-\u00eatre un moment particuli\u00e8rement difficile dans leur vie de prendre une d\u00e9cision affirmative et de la mettre ensuite en \u0153uvre dans un court laps de temps. Un m\u00e9canisme ou un d\u00e9lai devrait \u00eatre en place pour confirmer que les demandeurs veulent vraiment passer \u00e0 l'acte.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066910\" data-originallang=\"en\">Parall\u00e8lement, le syst\u00e8me actuel comprend d\u00e9j\u00e0 un m\u00e9canisme qui permet de lever la p\u00e9riode de r\u00e9flexion. Il est possible d'\u00e9liminer le d\u00e9lai dans des situations extr\u00eames. Cependant, la p\u00e9riode de r\u00e9flexion de 10 jours permet g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement de garantir que personne n'est contraint d'agir dans un court laps de temps.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6066911\" data-originallang=\"en\">La d\u00e9put\u00e9e serait-elle dispos\u00e9e \u00e0 appuyer l'id\u00e9e de maintenir la p\u00e9riode de r\u00e9flexion de 10 jours afin de prot\u00e9ger les personnes vuln\u00e9rables qui pourraient \u00eatre pouss\u00e9es \u00e0 aller de l'avant trop rapidement?</p>"
